Late answer, but you don't need to copy settings.db, you can update it with RootTools like

CommandCapture commandLogcat = new CommandCapture(0, "sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db \"UPDATE secure SET value = '192.168.2.140' WHERE name = 'eth_ip';\"");
RootTools.getShell(true).add(commandLogcat).getExitCode();
